The Turn Of A Friendly Card Lyrics

The Turn Of A Friendly Card lyrics

There are unsmiling faces and bright plastic chains 
And a wheel in perpetual
motion 
And they follow the races and pay out the gains 
With no show of
an outward emotion 

And they think it will make their lives easier

For God knows up till now it's been hard 
But the game never ends when
your whole world depends 
On the turn of a friendly card 
No the game
never ends when your whole world depends 
On the turn of a friendly card


There's a sign in the desert that lies to the west 
Where you can't
tell the night from the sunrise 
And not all's the King's horses and all the
King's men 
Have prevented the fall of the unwise 

For they think it
will make their lives easier 
And God knows up till now it's been hard

But the game never ends when your whole world depends 
On the turn of a
friendly card 
No the game never ends when your whole world depends 
On
the turn of a friendly card

No the game never ends when your whole world
depends 
On the turn of a friendly card
No the game never ends when your
whole world depends 
On the turn of a friendly card
